Build and explore your own vision for the city of Paris, launching today in Early Access on Steam

Paris, France – 25th of February 2021 – Enodo Games, an independent French developer, is proud to announce the Early Access launch of The Architect: Paris on Steam, available today at 6pm CET (12pm EST, 9AM PST). In this construction game, players will be able to visit and discover Paris from every possible angle thanks to a unique 3D recreation of the French capital in which every building can be reimagined, redesigned and rebuilt. Players can shape the buildings, districts and iconic landmarks of the Parisian urban landscape as they wish to create their very own vision of Paris.

The Architect: Paris gives players the opportunity to explore and transform one of the world’s largest and most iconic capital cities. Players can redesign the architectural style of the Parisian districts – taking them back in the past with a medieval style or transforming the city into a world of tomorrow with futuristic buildings straight from a science fiction blockbuster. Players can even rebuild parts of famous monuments such as Notre Dame de Paris or the Eiffel Tower to make sure they fit with each unique reimagining of Paris.

The Architect: Paris empowers players with a complete architectural toolset to become a modern-day Baron Haussmann:

• The City View : This feature allows players to see Paris with an impressive level of detail and to admire their own creations from high above or at a ground level. Players can change the time of day and the weather to experience their designs whether the sun is shining or rain is pouring.
• The Strategic Map : Here players will be able to plan their next project by choosing which district will be transformed. Information regarding Main Projects and Landmarks are also available in this tool, allowing players to create grand designs.
• The Drawing Board : The heart of the game, where players can reshape every building by choosing among fifty different styles and by changing its height, features, rooftop and more… Explore your designs under different lights and create structures which come alive from dusk until dawn.
• The Plot Editor : When budding architects feel they are ready to rebuild the very foundations of the Parisian districts, the Plot Editor will allow players to completely transform the Parisian urban landscape right down to the roadmap.

The Architect: Paris launches today in Early Access, allowing players to get a first hands-on experience of the game and to allow the game to evolve with the feedback of the community. For Jean-Baptiste Reynes, the CEO of ENODO GAMES and the game’s Creative Director, Early Access is the perfect way to respond to player feedback: “The Architect: Paris is a construction game which puts players in the unique position of being able to remodel Paris according to their wishes and tastes. To interact with the community to fulfill their expectations is essential and will allow us to follow that path.”

Full gameplay footage of The Architect: Paris is available below:

During the Early Access phase, players will have access to several Parisian districts, which will grow to include the center of Paris, alongside the Seine and perhaps even more. New features will also be added in the coming months to offer even more customization choices to players.

A roadmap of upcoming features is already available in-game to ensure as much transparency as possible. Players can learn about upcoming districts and Designs to be added, along with new Tools and other features. Among those new additions, players will be able to enjoy full Mod access, sharing their creations, multi-Design buildings and also a Photo mode.

The Architect: Paris is available today, the 25^th of February 2021 at 6pm CET (12pm EST, 9AM PST), in Early Access on Steam for $17.99 / £13.90 / 14,90€.

About Enodo Games

From Enodo… to Enodo Games

Founded by two architects, the firm Enodo has been developing interactive 3D environments using video game technology for 15 years. These immersive environments allow varied professionals to enjoy unique experiences which are both very powerful and educational.

It is thus very naturally that Enodo Games came to be in 2014, when the founders of Enodo decided to reverse their process and to bring to the video game industry their expertise they acquired throughout the years. Being city builders enthusiasts, the team members designed the tools they would have liked to see in other games. The Architect: Paris does not give the possibility of building a city from a catalogue of different pieces of cities but to truly imagine, design and create the future of an existing city.

EXHILARATING MUSOU ACTION RETURNS IN SAMURAI WARRIORS 5

The Historical Drama Unfolds with Re-imagined Visuals and an All-New Storyline

Hertfordshire, 25^th February 2021 – KOEI TECMO Europe and developer Omega Force are excited to teleport gamers into an epic historical drama thanks to the return of one of its most iconic franchises, as SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 introduces a re-imagined experience – from the visuals to the storyline – to open the curtain on an all-new entry in the SAMURAI WARRIORS series. The electrifying 1 vs. 1,000 tactical action game is currently under development for the Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4 (playable on PlayStation®5 via Backward Compatibility), the Xbox One consoles (playable on Xbox Series X|S via Backward Compatibility), and Windows PC via Steam®, and is set to launch across Europe on July 27, 2021. To celebrate the announcement, KOEI TECMO Europe shared a brand-new trailer introducing the game’s vibrant art style.

SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 takes place after the end of the Ōnin War, during the Sengoku period, and tells the story of two of the most preeminent military commanders of this period – Nobunaga Oda and Mitsuhide Akechi. This title includes various eras from this period, including the younger years of Nobunaga, when he was known as “Owari’s Great Fool,” and the period of turmoil and upheaval leading to the Honnō-ji Incident.

All of the game’s character designs have been completely redesigned and re-imagined to help fit the storyline’s Sengoku time period. In total, SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 features 27 playable characters, including both new and returning warriors, from Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hideyoshi Hashiba to Nō, and Yoshimoto Imagawa. Original character Mitsuki, a Kōga Ninja, has also been added, with other new characters to be announced at a later date.

In addition, all-new Musou actions have been added to the series – including newly designed Musou Frenzy Attacks – elevating the thrill of blowing away hordes of enemy soldiers in exhilarating fashion. These actions are displayed in a vibrant new Japanese ink painting art style, elegantly evolving the SAMURAI WARRIORS series to showcase the Sengoku period in stunning fashion as the intertwining stories of Nobunaga and Mitsuhide unravel on screen like a Sengoku period picture scroll.

KOEI TECMO Europe also revealed that fans of the SAMURAI WARRIORS series will be able to get their hands on two different must-have special editions of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5, exclusively available through the KOEI TECMO Europe Online Store. The Treasure Box version of SAMURAI WARRIORS 5 includes the game’s soundtrack, an art book, a selection of postcards (alongside a display case), a deluxe cloth poster showcasing the game’s vibrant new art style, and a copy of the game, all packaged into a samurai themed collector’s box. The Collector’s Edition of the game includes all of the content featured in the Treasure Box version, alongside a mini acrylic stand set featuring the pivotal characters from this epic historical drama. Pre-orders for these versions of the game will open soon, with further details shared on the KOEI TECMO Europe social channels.

5 Czechoslovakian medium tanks debut in the game today

Update 7.7 hits World of Tanks Blitz today and the headliners are the 5 brand-new Czechoslovakian vehicles which will become part of the European Tech Tree. This medium tank branch starts at Tier VI and runs all the way to Tier X and also brings with them new provisions: Goulash and Fried Cheese.

“It’s a great feeling when we bring new vehicles to the game for our players to enjoy, and our European community have been eagerly awaiting these steel beasts,” states Andrey Ryabovol, World of Tanks Product Director. “With every new tank we introduce, we also introduce a new challenge: there are weakspots, strengths, playstyles and more to discover.”

The 5 new tanks are:

·         Škoda T 25 (Tier VI)
·         Konštrukta T-34/100 (Tier VII)
·         TVP VTU Koncept (Tier VIII)
·         Škoda T 50 (Tier IX)
·         TVP 50/51 (Tier X)

Overall, the additions are dynamic, maneuverable, well-armed machines. The Škoda T 25 is the perfect stepping stone to the new line as it will provide tankers with a feeling of what to expect from the higher tiers. Just like the Swedish and Italian branches, the Czechoslovakian vehicles will be researchable from the Tier V Strv m/42. Two of the newly introduced mediums have classic guns with excellent penetration and high single-shot damage, while the other three feature guns with an autoloading system. At the top of the tree, the Tier X TVP T 50/51’s firepower is seriously impressive as a result of its 4-shell magazine.

Alongside the Czechoslovakian mediums, Update 7.7 also introduces a brand-new operation Colosseum that kicks off on March 1^st. This time it will see tankers in an unusual Gladiators setting while completing missions to get great rewards, including a unique tank, camo and profile background!

Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle brings classics and culture to Planet Coaster: Console Edition

Discover classic coasters and cultural celebrations with two new packs

Cambridge, UK – 25 February 2021 Frontier Developments plc (AIM: FDEV) today launched the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle for Planet Coaster: Console Edition, bringing timeless charm and international flair to players everywhere.

Following the success of Planet Coaster: Console Edition which launched in November 2020, the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle is the latest, and largest DLC to date. With a grand total of ten new rides – comprised of four coasters and six flat rides – over 250 new blueprints, and more than 900 shops, facilities, buildings, and scenery, there’s an abundance of new items for players to explore.

The Vintage Pack allows players to step back in time and discover the delights of yesteryear, with a beautiful selection of content themed around turn-of-the-century amusement parks. Joining the already fantastic array of coasters are Zephyrus, a high-speed, wooden coaster with a tarnished charm, and Aces Sky, which lets guests ‘pilot’ retro biplanes down a large wooden pipe as gravity and momentum work their magic. In addition to the two brand new coasters there’s also five fabulous flat rides for guests to enjoy. There’s Round The World, combining the gentle and spinning motions of a Ferris wheel; Loop Da Loop, a twin cabin inverting swinger from the 1930s; Test Flight, an inverting plane ride which the guests can control; Hurricane, twisting and turning action as a fairground staple; and Centrum, a classic carnival ride which spins at high speeds at a thrilling 50 degrees.

Aside from rides and coasters, the Vintage Pack is brimming with a whole new range of Victorian inspired scenery, decorative trimmings and architecture. From art deco stages on which a barbershop quartet sings tunes, to a sophisticated trapeze playground for professional tumblers to swing and twirl, players won’t be short of ways to add some pizazz to their parks.

With the World’s Fair Pack players can pay homage to the sights and sounds of China, USA, France, Morocco, Italy, Germany, Japan, UK, Mexico, and Spain as they take guests on a whistle-stop tour of some of the planet’s most iconic destinations. Each country has its own theme offering up unique shops, restaurants and scenery options. From cultural props and giant food signs, to brand new wall set styles based on the new country themes complete with shop panels, doors and roof pieces, players have everything they need to build the ultimate international entertainment park.

There’s also three new rides to discover, Jixxer & Interceptor are a duelling duo of launched coasters. Guests hop on their very own motorcycle and speed down a track that whips and winds around itself, giving the impression of a high-speed bike chase. Polarity offers guests a new way to travel with its rapid transport system which uses magnetic forces to propel the coaster train around the park.

Everything in the Vintage & World’s Fair Bundle is fully compatible with the Frontier Workshop. This online sharing hub is built from the ground up for console, letting players publish their creations for others across the world to download – so long as they have the relevant DLC.

The Vintage and World’s Fair Bundle is out now for Planet Coaster: Console Edition on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5 for a suggested retail price of £11.99/$14.99/€12.99. The packs are also available for purchase individually for a suggested retail price of £7.99/$9.99/€9.99.

February 24th, 2021 – Spiderweb Software Inc., makers of fine indie adventures for over 25 years, announces the launch of our new, unique fantasy role-playing epic! Geneforge 1 – Mutagen, a truly unique and innovative fantasy sci-fi hybrid, is out now for $19.99 on Steam, Epic, GOG, and other storefronts for Windows and Macintosh. An iPad version is also in development for release later in 2021.

Geneforge 1 – Mutagen is one of the most open-ended role-playing games available. Choose between a host of rival factions. Use magic or your deadly pets to crush your enemies. Or, use trickery, diplomacy, and stealth to win the game without ever attacking a foe. Destroy the final boss, or switch sides and join him. Fight alone or create your own army of custom-made mutant monsters.

In Geneforge 1 – Mutagen, enter the world of the Shapers. The Shapers are wizards with the awesome power to create life. Need a servant, or a pet, or a tool, or a mighty beast to fight and die for you? The Shapers create it, and it totally obeys you. Usually.

At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. You have been stranded on a forbidden island, full of powerful, lost secrets of your people. Invaders are also here, trying to steal and master your knowledge. Race them for the awesome treasures hidden here. And destroy the thieves. Or join them.

Geneforge 1 – Mutagen is a total remaster of the 20-year old indie classic Geneforge. With the help of a successful Kickstarter, this new game is a completely remade and greatly expanded recreation of the original. A large demo is available on Spiderrweb Software’s website.
